Tansesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), Precordial doppler ultrasound and Transcranial doppler ultrasound may be used to diagnose air embolism.

Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is the most sensitive imaging modality for air embolism.^[1]^[2]
- On TEE, air embolism is characterized by detection of air in circulation.
Precordial Doppler Ultrasound is the most sensitive noninvasive imaging modality for air embolism.^[3]^[4]
- Precordial Doppler Ultrasound may demonstrate air in circulation.
Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound is also used to detect air embolism.
- Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound may demonstrate cerebral emboli.
